+ that the item stores only the pointers to the name and
description. Those pointers must be valid during the life-

- tines.

+ The function <STRONG>free_item</STRONG> de-allocates an item. Please notice
that it is the responsibility of the application to
release the memory for the name or the description of the
item.
